I apologize for the lack of a July gender reader. I always end up gathering links right as a topic explodes in the media, and my own fandoms have gone a bit mad lately, which resulted in a Sherlock marathon in between the Olympics, traveling, and trying to sort out my thoughts about Elisabeth. Lately I’ve been collecting links on two subjects: geek culture and bodies. Some of these are old news, but I hope that by gathering them in one place, I can show trends in subsections of this subject.
Warning: articles contain spoilers for some series; discussions of sexism, rape.

Today I’d like to share with you all some blog posts and articles about gender and culture that I’ve found quite interesting. Topics covered: the terminology of describing pairing, male privilege in geekdom, a new and awesome interpretation of Sailor Moon‘s girl power, target audiences for yuri/BL, and sexual imagination as cultural.

Although I tend to buy plain stamps, the Japan Post sells some beautiful limited edition series of stamps–everything from flowers to anime heroes and heroines. Starting on 10 June 2011, the post offices started selling a stamp set featuring characters and scenes from The Rose of Versailles （『ベルサイユのバラ』, a.k.a. BeruBara (『ベルバラ』).
